WHY I LIKE AND USE VOICETHREAD In My Counseling Courses
\nBy Irle Goldman, PhD<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Counseling is a relational, symbolic and creative experience. Having students describe it in a paper makes it too one-dimensional. It looses it\u2019s depth and possibilities. Voicethread<\/a> allows us to add pictures, voice, and video to create a richer, more useful and communicative product.<\/li>\n
  2. Voicethread allows the students to see each other\u2019s work and learn from it. You have a more relational\/mutual educational experience.<\/li>\n
  3. Voicethread allows students to react\/respond to each others\u2019 work in a way that\u2019s easy to see and connect to. This helps to build community for the class.<\/li>\n
  4. Voicethread allows you to see the whole picture\u2026 all of the classes creations in one screen; all the pages of individual creations in another screen. I get a better sense of the whole gestalt.<\/li>\n
  5. Because of this, it is easier to mark. You can see what is included and missing in one-fell-swoop.<\/li>\n
  6. What the students produce is much more interesting to read\/see\/hear.<\/li>\n
  7. Because it uses so many modalities (kind of like life) the students tell me that it\u2019s more interesting to create. They can start from a picture or a text or a song and build their piece of work around any of these and add to it and re-organize it.<\/li>\n
  8. I have used it for projects, for midterms and for finals in my Theories of Counseling and Human Development classes.<\/li>\n
  9. It is always available in the cloud.<\/li>\n
  10. It can be archived in a student\u2019s portfolio.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Challenges: It takes a while to learn how to connect and use it and I have not yet figured out the way to communicate with students individually on it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
